Hello, Shacknews. I'm here at the Oakland International Airport waiting on my flight home from GDC. That means it's an abbreviated round of news, memes, and entertainment for this week! This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.
And, because it's the weekend, go find yourself something to play!
Today in Bubbletron
Be sure to play Bubbletron today!
It's dangerous to Minecraft alone
I built my kids a Zelda inspired Minecraft Adventure map. 60+ hours. Nearly 2 months of steady work. It has reminded me of when my Dad made board games for me when I was little. I am very proud of myself. I hope you have fun kids; your Dad loved making it. 💚🥹

It's two great tastes that go great together.
Now you're playing with Advance power
The Game Boy Advance is 24 years old! Hard to believe it was only on the market for a few years before the Nintendo DS launched. Mario, Pokémon, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Metroid, Golden Sun, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Mega Man, Sonic... So many good memories!

The Game Boy generation will never be beat, even if the DS did have a good run.
Nothing but the Hotfix
We're giving all the flowers to the wonderful women of Frame Fatales. They finished this year's Frost Fatales event with $150,595 raised for the National Women's Law Center. We're excited to come back after the Labor Day weekend and watch you do it all again.
GDQ's Hotfix shows air every week and you can catch them all at the Games Done Quick Twitch account.
